That will be too heavy for the simple cub. It's a good fit for the Spitfire. The Spit is a nice, predictable flying plane but not a great first plane. Try a tiny trainer for your first. You'll need a smaller motor, prop, esc and battery though.

What about a Storch?

 

[Mr Man]

The Simple Scout is a good one, but your battery might be on the heavy side for a first plane.

Also, you say you have a 2200mah 25c battery, how many cells does it have? (2s,3s)?

The Cub might work, it will be heavy. The only reason to consider it, you already have it build. It would be better if you had a lighter battery.
As Mr. Man said, the Storch would be a better choice.

Nope, I fly mine with a 2200mah 4s. Easy!

I think you would be fine with that setup in a simple scout but the storch might be easier especially for first time flying.
